Question

At the end of “Thank You, M’am,” Roger “wanted to say something else other than ‘Thank you, m’am’” to Mrs. Jones, but he can’t do so. What is the most likely reason he can’t do so?
A. He still hasn’t learned any manners.
B. He is upset that she wants him to leave.
C. He doesn’t really need the money she gave him.
D. He can’t think of words to fully express his gratitude.

Answer 1

D. He can’t think of words to fully express his gratitude.

He’s overwhelmed, embarrassed, and deeply grateful after Mrs. Jones’s unexpected kindness, so he’s at a loss for words and can’t find a better way to express what he feels.
